I met Linda Short during one of the most wondrous years of my life during a study year abroad in Scotland. I had discovered Blake's Seven the year before I left, and I was dying to meet other fans so I went to a convention a month after I arrived at the university. There I met Linda and I think that's when I scratched up the money to buy her wonderful filk tapes. I know I eventually ended up with both of them and nearly wore them out listening to them over and over in my little pink tape player while traveling around the UK. I could sing most of the songs by heart. Just hearing one takes me back to that time of my life. She will be missed in the world of fandom, but I am so happy her music lives on.
